LUBBOCK, Texas (NEWS RELEASE) – The Heart of the Plains Kennel Club will be hosting 3 days of American Kennel Club licensed dog shows and obedience and rally trials at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center Exhibit Hall, August 31st thru September 2nd.
Dogs attending these shows will be competing in Conformation, Obedience and Rally. In conformation, the judge compares the dogs in competition with his interpretation of the perfect dog as described in the breed’s written standard. The dog coming closest to the breed standard will be awarded points toward its championship title or hopefully move on to Group and Best In Show competition.
In Obedience, dogs will be scored on their proficiency in heeling, retrieving, jumping, signal work and scent discrimination. The AKC sport of Rally will also be exhibited at these shows. Rally competition is a planned heeling course that includes a variety of turns, serpentine moves and jumps. In both Obedience and Rally, exhibitors will be competing for qualifying scores toward AKC titles. Each day will have an entry of hundreds of dogs, coming from the surrounding states and foreign countries. Many of the top winning dogs in the nation will compete at these shows.
In celebration of Responsible Dog Ownership Month, the shows will also display the winning artwork from Patterson Branch Library for the Club’s 18th “Kid’s Art Show at the Dog Show.”There will be free educational material offered to the public and no admission fee will be charged for these shows. The Heart of the Plains Kennel Club is a charitable organization who not only hosts licensed American Kennel Club dog shows, obedience, rally, scent work, and Fast CAT trials but is dedicated to the promotion of responsible dog ownership and various dog sports through its educational programs.
